Big little lies anyone? (Book not the hbo series)

So my daughter and I are disagreeing about when I should potty train her. She thinks now is a good time. I would rather wait until she is a tiny bit older and I am not throwing up all the time and my foot is not broken and I am not stumbling around in a giant walking boot.

But she is persistent.

Today she took off her diaper and tried to rush to the potty and instead ended up having diarrhea alllllll over my bedroom carpet. I only threw up twice while cleaning her up and the floor up which feels like a small miracle. I've never hated that my laundry room is in the basement as bad as I did today.

So I guess she wins? Potty training it is? She's not even two yet :0 Or I guess I could start duck taping her diapers?

Anyone else potty train before two? With my son I waited until he was three! He had delayed verbal communication so there was no way I was going to try potty training while he wasn't speaking. But then it was so so easy!

Oh bless your heart. My son threw up the other day at dinner ( spaghetti). I had to clean it up and it was terrible. I can't imagine cleaning up diarrhea though. Go with the potty training. Less diapers to change!

My daughter is 21 months and we are potty training. Some days are better than others but I'm gagging changing the poopy diapers lately so I'm hoping we get the hang of this soon. She is really good about pee pee in the potty but will not poop. It's like she's scared for it to come out. So I have to really keep an eye in the afternoons so that she doesn't disappear in the corner and come back with a poopy butt and no diaper lol. I'm thinking we should be more than good by baby #2

With my first son, he wasn't ready to potty train til just before he turned 3, and with my second, he pretty much potty trained himself just before he turned 2! We had accidents the first week because he kept taking his diaper off, but the more we let him do it the faster he would get to the potty! I gladly took a week of accident cleaning vs diaper changing for a longer period of time! Good luck!

My son pretty much potty trained himself around 18 months, he wanted to pee on the potty and so he did. Just like that. I was lucky! However, maybe you could put pull ups on her that make her pull them down rather than rip them off, and if she still wants to train, have her pull them down at the potty??? Maybe that could help.... good luck!!!
